Book Description
WASTED SPACE is an out-of-this-world cocktail that’s one part Preacher, one part Star Wars, and a delectable dose of Philip K. Dick shaken well … take a sip and get wasted. THE GALAXY IS WRECKED—A COCKTAIL OF WARLORDS, PIRATES, AND TINPOT DICTATORS, STIRRED TO A FRENZY BY AN ALCOHOLIC FORMER PROPHET. TAKE A SIP AND GET WASTED. Billy is a prophet who got it all wrong - he used to hear the voice of the Creator, and that didn't work out so great. OK. If we're being honest, he led the galaxy to total, burning ruin. All he wants is to waste away in the darkest corner of space with his best pal Dust, a supercharged Fuqbot. But when a new prophet comes calling, Billy and Dust, are summoned and set out to save what's left of the galaxy. Too bad he couldn't care less. From Michael Moreci (Barbaric, The Plot, Spree, and Revealer - based on the Shudder original movie - all from Vault Comics; Black Star Renegades) and Hayden Sherman (The Few, Cold War, John Carter: The End).

Theory of Rotating Stars. (PSA-1), Volume 1
Author: Jean-Louis Tassoul
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 140086898X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
Ever since the first observations of sunspots in the early seventeenth century, stellar rotation has been a major topic in astronomy and astrophysics. Jean-Louis Tassoul synthesizes a large number of theoretical investigations on rotating stars. Drawing upon his own research, Professor Tassoul also carefully critiques various competing ideas. In the first three chapters, the author provides a short historical sketch of stellar rotation, the main observational data on the Sun and other stars on which the subsequent theory is based, and the basic Newtonian hydrodynamics used to study rotating stars. Following a discussion of some general mechanical properties of stars in a state of permanent rotation, he reviews the main techniques for determining the structure of a rotating star and its stability with respect to infinitesimal disturbances. Since the actual distribution of angular momentum within stars is still unknown, Professor Tassoul considers various models of angular momentum as well as of meridional circulation. He devotes the rest of his study to the problems concerning various groups of stars and stages in stellar evolution. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
